[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not opposed to divorce, but I think it is interesting how you can't stand you have your dream of another child shattered, but you are fine with shattering your child's dream (assuming most kids value this as long as the marriage is decent) of having both mother and father together. Why does your dream win?[/quote]

OP here - Isn't the question - why does DH's dream win?   And his position isn't exactly a compromise - he's getting "his way".   Hence the real conflict.  If it were so easy (I'm a selfish hag with psychological issues because I want to procreate with my husband again!), then there likely wouldn't be pages of mostly thoughtful comments on this thread.[/quote]

You really don't get how a marriage is supposed to work, do you?  It's not supposed to be a zero sum game.  You are dooming yourself to repeat your parents mistakes by ending up divorced yourself.  You are your own worst enemy.[/quote]

OP here - my parents aren't divorced.  They are celebrating 44 years together this year - a second marriage for both.  I come from a large "blended family" - my parents decided to have two children together and each brought 2 children to the marriage.  So my husband had a heads up about what I consider a large family to be.  He should happy I *only* want two![/quote]

Misunderstood 10:52....thought that was a typo.  [/quote]
